Andy May is a soft-spoken man who calls children “youngsters” and adults “folks.” His talent as a musician and teacher is undisputed, but he’s likely best known as the founder of the Acoustic Kids Showcase. The showcase is a non-competitive “Opry-style” performance program that allows musicians [16] and younger to perform on professional stages at festivals around the country.

Andy May is a wonderful award-winning musician, singer, songwriter, producer and an overall entertaining performer. He has been a repeat headliner at the Walnut Valley Festival for many years. But this year, Andy is celebrating a different accomplishment: The 41st Walnut Valley Festival is also the 22nd consecutive festival where May has coordinated and hosted the highly-acclaimed Acoustic Kids Workshop.
